Autobiographical Form

Private

Instructions: This Autobiographical Form has been developed to provide candidates for promotion or tenure with the opportunity to present their qualifications in a concise and orderly manner. Candidates should include in this form, data which indicate how they have met the appropriate evaluative criteria. Supporting documentation, such as individual student evaluation forms, copies of publications, etc., should not be placed in the Professional File. These support documents should be maintained in a separate file by each candidate. All candidates are responsible for reviewing the ranking and tenure criteria to insure completeness of their files.

The candidates will provide a brief (two pages or fewer) summary of their work. Candidates should address the three areas, Teaching, Scholarship and Service. This summary should not just repeat the information contained in the autobiographical form, but should highlight the candidate's accomplishments in each area.
